Chapter 1-"The Big Secret"

I'm so excited for today. Today is the day I get to see all of my friends from far away like Caspar and Troye and other great friends. Yea I like hanging out with Shane and Tyler and them but I do miss all of my friends away from America.

VidCon, one of the best days of the year for me. I'm happy to see that Zalfie are still together, they make an amazing couple. But this year, the couple to see is Troyler. Yes! They finally announced to their subscribers that they were a couple. It took them like a year or so to come out and tell everyone but I can see why; privacy needs. Troyler is the one ship I hoped for and you have no idea how excited I was when I found out.

I needed a ride to VidCon because Satsuki needed to get fixed up. Nothing major, basically like a checkup. Shane invited me along since Lisa had gotten her own ride. Shisa has been acting weird lately. They seem more distant, like they aren't even a couple. Just friends, and enemy's. Frienemies.

The ride down here was full of song and gossip. Knowing Shane, he sang almost every song that came on. Me on the other hand was quiet, staring out the window. The sky was a pretty blue with no clouds in sight. I was interrupted by the view to hear a loud noise that sounded like none other than, Shane.

"And we danced all night, to the BEST SONG EVER! We knew every line, now I CAN'T REMEMBER! I don't know all the words, but I will KEEP SINGING!"

"Oh my goodness gracianyas, shut up you whore. You're so loud!", I shouted back. I had to yell over the loud music and his high pitched voice.

"Listen here white ass. I will sing this song if I want to and you can't stop me! Don't tell me what to do! What chu gunna do about it?!", he said in his ghetto, playful voice.

"Shooooot, calm down there boy."

"That's what I thought!". The rest of the drive was filled with the interests of Troyler, VidCon, and other things such as Sawyers new dog, a pomsky named Carl. Don't know why he names him Carl but he's still adorable none the less. We stopped at a red light when Shane finally broke the silence.

"Hey Joey", Shane said nervously.

"Yeah?", I questioned in concern. Shane was rarely nervous and I was scared yet curious.

"Can I tell you something? And it's true, it's not fake."

"Yeah sure, what is it?"

"Have you noticed how me and Lisa aren't as...close as we used to be?" he stumbled.

"Yeah..."

"Well we broke up."

"What? Why?!" I was in shock but a little bit of happiness made it way to my grinning face.

"Well I just didn't really like her, anymore"

"Oh? Well are you guys still friends?"

"Ehhh. I mean she kinda wants to be but I'm not fully sure." he said in a confused tone.

"Why?"

"I just don't think it's a good idea."

"Oh". The longest light in the world had finally turned green and off again we were to VidCon. I wanted to ask more but I didn't think now was a very good time. The longest time, the car ride was silent. 10 minutes before we get to the faculty, Shane finally spoke. We had caught another red light and began another conversation.

"I wanted to tell you that the reason I broke up with her is because I'm....."

"You're.....what?"

"I'm not...."

"What?! Spit it out boy!" I yelled hoping he would finally tell me.

"I'm not straight". I sat there in awe. I didn't know what to do so I just stared forward deep in my thoughts. So, Shane wasn't straight, was he bisexual? Gay? I didn't know exactly what to say so I just spoke what was on my mind.

"So are you bisexual?". From the silence on Shane's part, I then understood. Shane wasn't straight and he wasn't bisexual. Shane Lee Yaw was gay. I didn't want to fully come out and say it so I just questioned with another question.

"So when did you know?"

"I don't really know. I've thought it for awhile. Something just sort of flicked in my mind and I knew I was."

"Oh. Does anyone else know?" I questioned.

"Lisa of course, you, my brother, my mom, and Troyler."

"Oh well at least you told close friends."

" Yea. So are you afraid or shocked?". I have no idea why he even would ask me this but for his situation right now, I guess I do.

"Shocked? A little yea but not afraid. Shane you are one of my best friends and just because you're gay doesn't mean I'm going to run away from you. I like you for you and nothing's going to change. You're still the Shane I know and love, no matter what sexuality". Within seconds I feel a pair of arms wrap around me.

"Thanks Joey". He said in such content.

"Of course, anything for my boy! No go, the light's green". The rest of the ride there was silent but we gossiped here and there. It was one long car ride I can tell you that much.

We finally arrived at the place 15 minutes before we were about to go on. People loved Shoey so much that they decided that we would go up as a pair, answer questions and stuff and then go into our own little 'shows' which I thought it was a pretty good idea. I was starving so we stopped at Taco Bell.

When we walked in, we got our food and sat down. Just as I was about to take a bite out of my grilled chicken salad wrap, I was interrupted by a loud, high pitched voice.
